Ukraine’s parliament votes to oust president; former prime minister is freed from jail
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...9c0_story.html

Still a possibility for civil war? I don't see it unless Russia starts arming the pro Yanukovych forces.

I hope you're right, but there are already ample arms in eastern Ukraine and the Crimea.

If the army supports Parliament, it's over. Otherwise, it's not.

Well now that she has been freed perhaps she will get proper medical attention.

Yes, she is suffering from prolapsed intervertebral disc...wow... I had to look up that one...

She is such a strong brave woman but jail made her sick since a long time.

Merkel invited her yesterday to come to Berlin in order to get the very best treatment. She thankfully accepted the invitation and will come to Berlin in March.

Yanukovych last seen in the Crimea and on the run. Warrants issued for his arrest for mass murder. Wow! That was some opulent palace he had built for himself outside of Kiev.
